    Abstract: In an embodiment, a memory device may contain device processing logic and a mode register. The mode register may a register that may specify a mode of operation of the memory device. A field in the mode register may hold a value that may indicate whether a command associated with the memory device is disabled. The value may be held in the field until either the memory device is power-cycled or reset. The device processing logic may acquire an instance of the command. The device processing logic may determine whether the command is disabled based on the value held by the mode register. The device processing logic may not execute the instance of the command if the device processing logic determines the command is disabled. If the device processing logic determines the command is not disabled, the device processing logic may execute the instance of the command.

    Abstract: In one example a controller comprises logic, at least partially including hardware logic, configured to implement a first iteration of an interference test on a communication interconnect comprising a victim lane and a first aggressor lane by generating a first set of pseudo-random patterns on the victim lane and the aggressor lane using a first seed and implement a second iteration of an interference test by advancing the seed on the first aggressor lane. Other examples may be described.

    Abstract: A memory subsystem can test a memory device in situ, testing the performance of the device in the system it is built into during production. Thus, the refresh rate can be adjusted specific to the memory device(s) of a specific system, rather than defaulting to a refresh frequency specified by a standard for the memory device(s). A test component embedded within the host memory subsystem can perform a test and identify specific bits or lines of memory that produce errors when a lower frequency refresh rate is used. The system maps out the identified bits or lines to prevent the bits/lines from being used in runtime of the system. The memory subsystem can then set its refresh rate to an adjusted refresh rate at which a threshold number of errors can be removed by mapping out the bits/lines.

    Abstract: Data pin mapping and delay training techniques. Valid values are detected on a command/address (CA) bus at a memory device. A first part of the pattern (high phase) is transmitted via a first subset of data pins on the memory device in response to detecting values on the CA bus; a second part of the pattern (low phase) is transmitted via a second subset of data pins on the memory device in response to detecting values on the CA bus. Signals are sampled at the memory controller from the data pins while the CA pattern is being transmitted to obtain a first memory device's sample (high phase) and the second memory device's sample (low phase) by analyzing the first and the second subset of sampled data pins. The analysis combined with the knowledge of the transmitted pattern on the CA bus leads to finding the unknown data pins mapping. Varying the transmitted CA patterns and the resulting feedbacks sampled on memory controller data signals allows CA/CTRL/CLK signals delay training with and without priory data pins mapping knowledge.

    Abstract: Circuitry to provide a supply voltage. A voltage regulator is coupled to receive a target reference signal. The voltage regulator generates a supply voltage (Vtt) and is coupled to receive the supply voltage as an input signal. An upper limit comparator receives an upper limit voltage signal that is higher than the target reference voltage signal and the supply voltage to generate a “too high” signal when the supply voltage exceeds an upper threshold. A lower limit comparator receives a lower limit voltage signal that is lower than the target reference voltage signal and the supply voltage to generate a “too low” signal when the supply voltage is below a lower threshold. A pull up current source is coupled to pull the supply voltage up in response to the too low signal. A pull down current source is coupled to pull the supply voltage down in response to the too high signal.

    Abstract: A chip select training mode (CSTM) enables a memory subsystem to train a chip select signal separately from command bus training. A memory device and a memory controller can connect via a command bus including a chip select signal line. Instead of training the chip select along with other signal lines of the command bus, a CSTM mode enables the memory subsystem to more accurately train the chip select. The memory device can be triggered for CSTM mode with a command, and then train voltage margining for the CS signal line to align chip select signaling with the memory subsystem clock signal.
